"Oh, it’s Old Li. Please, have a seat in the living room."
Mrs. Shen ca out from the bedroom with a travel bag in hand. At first sight of Old Lady Li, she was briefly taken aback but quickly put on a smile and invited her to sit in the living room.
"Are you heading out?" Old Lady Li noticed the travel bag in Mrs. Shen’s hand and couldn’t help but ask. Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen didn’t pay much mind to the idea of keeping family scandals under wraps. She sat opposite Old Lady Li, placing the travel bag beside her, then glared at Shen Yunxiu and said:
"I finally got it out of him. The rotten kid really has been hiding sothing from . Not only has he settled down where he was stationed, but he also has a pair of children. Yet he acted like a Chen Shii, sneaking back to Hu City all by himself, leaving his wife and children in the countryside. I plan to head to the Northwest with him today to bring my daughter-in-law and grandchildren back."
After hearing Mrs. Shen’s words, Old Lady Li’s expression changed noticeably. Seeing this, Mrs. Shen said, "Judging by your look, it seems you have sothing to discuss with ." It wasn’t a question, but a statent.
Old Lady Li nodded. "Yes."
Mrs. Shen: "It has to do with this rotten kid of mine." Once again in a declarative tone.
"Yes." Old Lady Li nodded again, then said, "I was initially skeptical, but I didn’t expect Yunxiu to actually do sothing like that." Pausing for a mont, Old Lady Li glanced at Shen Yunxiu and then refocused on Mrs. Shen. "If Yunxiu’s wife’s na is Cui Xiaokui, then you don’t need to go to the Northwest."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen was puzzled. "Old Li... what do you an by that?"
"Your daughter-in-law and the two kids are presently in Hu City," said Old Lady Li. "Her father sought out an acquaintance, facilitating their journey through those connections."
Kang Li and his group got off the train and directly went to the large courtyard where Elder Loh and Old Lady Li lived, according to the address Elder Loh had left them. However, they were stopped by the gatekeeper, who said that Elder Loh and his wife had left early in the morning with Xiao Loh En to clean the residence at the university where Old Lady Li taught. So, Kang Li borrowed a phone in the gatekeeper’s room and dialed a number.
After getting in touch with Old Lady Li, although Kang Li didn’t say much, he did reveal the issue between the Cui family and Shen Yunxiu.
After finishing the call, Old Lady Li speculated that the "Shen Yunxiu" Kang Li ntioned was very likely the Shen Yunxiu she knew. However, she didn’t want to believe that the Shen Yunxiu she knew would do such a thing as described by Kang Li.
Yet, since Shen Yunxiu was stationed in the Great Northwest and given what Mrs. Shen had said in front of her, Old Lady Li had no choice but to equate the "Shen Yunxiu" referred to by Kang Li with the one she knew.
Thus, after ending the call, Elder Loh took Xiao Loh En back to the courtyard first, while Old Lady Li went to the Shen family, planning to ensure that regardless of the outco, she would have Mrs. Shen and Shen Yunxiu visit the courtyard.
"Old Li, you an..."
Mrs. Shen was a bit emotional. Seeing Old Lady Li nod, she tried to control her emotions and asked, "Then where are they now?"
"Co on, I’ll take you to see them." Old Lady Li stood up and looked at Shen Yunxiu, "Child, in Auntie Li’s heart, you’ve always been outstanding, but I never expected you to abandon your wife and children."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunxiu lowered his head in sha.
"Love isn’t a necessity in life, but as humans, responsibility and accountability are essential. Otherwise, what do you think a person’s purpose in living would be?"
Chapter 987
Auntie Li is saying this to you not to preach, but to tell you, Yunxiu, you are wrong! Abandoning your wife and kids is a massive mistake!"
"It’s not just a moral issue; it’s your attitude toward handling things that Auntie Li truly cannot agree with!"
Shen Yunxiu’s lips were tightly pressed together, and he didn’t speak.
At this mont, Mrs. Shen told Old Lady Li, "I scolded him before you arrived. Old Li, don’t worry, I won’t let this rotten kid earn the reputation of a Chen Shii."
"Oh, co on! What am I worried about?" Old Lady Li replied. "It’s just that you don’t have to get overly involved. Yunxiu is an adult now. If he truly lacks responsibility and accountability to his wife and kids,
even if you force him to maintain his marriage with that Cui Xiaokui, the ones getting hurt in the end would still be that poor girl and her two kids.
Furthermore, if Yunxiu feels that he won’t regret it in his lifeti, nor fears being despised and scorned, I suggest he face his wife directly, sit down, and have a talk. He should give the girl and her family an explanation.
